    Default Do You Ever Have Trouble Going Back to Work After Time Off?

    Ok, so I really needed to take time off to regroup and recharge, so I took two weeks off from the club. Now, I'm having trouble motivating myself to go back to work. It's so nice to not have to deal with the crappy customers and the drama from the girls. I guess what makes it harder is that I am lucky in the fact that because of my husbands' income I don't "have to" work. So how do you girls get motivated to get back to the grind after time off?

    Ahhh! I love you! I'm having the same problem! Well, I only took one day off work... but I feel like I haven't been in there forever. I took some time off last month and I'm still getting back in the saddle. I know I'm being silly... It's the girls that make me nervous though. I'm actually getting ready to go in as we speak. Here's what I always do... The day before I tell myself I'm going in. I wash my stuff that day and when ppl. ask me if I'm free, I tell them no, I'm working. I woke up this morning and I was like, okay, time to start getting in work mode.

    Ha! I know exactly what you mean. I took off for the Fourth and did the tourist thing. The next week I was put out of work by the stupid NJ state shutdown. Now I just want to sit on the beach and spend money. But I know that wouldn't pay the bills.

    I took a week off and it felt like a year since I was in there. I guess it's different for me because if I don't work, I don't eat & don't have a warm bed to sleep in so my motivation is different than yours. Even if I didn't have to work, I would. I actually don't have to strip, I have a "real" job that I make good enough money to support myself, but don't have anything left over, so that's why I dance. But sometimes it's hard to want to go in but what helps me is thinking, "what if I have a huge, money making night?" Like thinking, tonight could be the night that I find that one guy that'll make my night worth while and I'll take home a ton of money. Try thinking that way to motivate yourself and if you have a night where you bank, you'll treat yourself to something or treat you and your husband to something great like a nice cruise or a romantic dinner or something.

    If I didnt have to work I would not. I guess the best advice would be to ask yourself why are you really going back? If you are going back for the money and dont need the money then dont. If you are going back because you love to dance, maybe find a different club. Anyway do what is best for you not because you feel obligated to.

    O o o! I have another tip! I take a small drink, play music I like to dance to at the club, and walk around in my heels and undies while I get ready (also helps to reach things on high shelves, too).

    I think she just wants the extra income? Like, we don't only work just enough to pay rent and put food in our mouths (well, I hope not!).

    Im the same exact way once i take off from work or dancing for a while. The only motivation that gets me going is just getting up and go. Just trying to do it on your own is the only way that works for me.

    It's definitely very hard to get back into the groove of things even after just a few days off. It helps that my best friend works with me. If I'm having trouble finding motivation, or if she is, we always get together at one of our places an hour or so before work. We drink some wine, do our hair and make-up, and get each other psyched up to go to work. Once we're through the door we usually don't see each other again unti it's time to go home, but all the same, it does the trick to get me there and loving it again

    I thought I was the only one that had this problem. Sometimes I buy a new outfit, then I want to go show it off!

    Yeah, basically I work to help pay off debts... I'm on the Dave Ramsey plan... my husband and I plan to have our total debt including mortgage paid off in 6 years. So, that's what I need to think about to help motivate me to get my butt back to work... haha. Plus I just got a new pair of heels, so I do want to show those off. Ok, I'm going in to work tonight... the decision is MADE!

    That's what I miss so much about living and working in the same city as my best friend! But we used to get ready together everyday! Ah, the good old days...

    Uh, yes! It's ceen 5 months to the day since I've been to work. I left the night my uncle died and now I just cant motivate myself to go in! I've also been more lax in the beauty department, so the thought of messing with shaving constantly, nails, etc. turns me off....

    If I don't take enough time off, I have a hard time. I recently took off two weeks to be with my military man and was pretty excited to be back at the club....making $$

    Yes! I hear ya. Last October, I told my club I needed a two week break. That 2 week break turned into a month break. And then... I just never returned. I ended up taking a real Estate Class and starting a new career a few monthes later. Its crazy because doing real estate, Im my own boss( just like dancing) And I use my hustling skills Ive earned through my years of dancing. (just in a different manner)So.. Selling houses feels like dancing in a way, but I dont have to take my clothes off. (im not saying taking your clothes off is a bad thing : ) ) Its just slightly different, but not much. Plus youre very lucky you have a husband helping you out. What does your husband say about you dancing? Does he want you to go back? ....

    Well, I don't think I'll be going back for the rest of the week. You can read what happened at this post that I just listed.

    I can relate...I usually don't make amazing money my first night or two back, which makes it all that much harder to go in. I just have to jump-start myself. Getting into my "uniform" helps -- shaving, slathering on the self-tanner, getting my eyebrows plucked, glueing on the fake nails. Also washing my clothes and repacking my dance bag, and maybe shopping for new thongs/stockings/whatever. Once I've done all that, I'd feel like an idiot NOT going to work.
